The Karma drone is the first one produced by the legendary action camera manufacturer. Less expensive than the DJI Phantom 4, it starts at around $800 without a camera. However, if you want to add a camera, you’re looking at $1,100 with the Hero 5 included.

The Phantom 4 starts at around $1,200, making it $100 more than the Karma. However, this comes without a means to carry it, so a backpack may be in order. The DJI backpack designed for the Phantom will set you back another $200.

Features

When it comes to features, it’s clear to see why the Phantom 4 is more expensive than the Karma. For instance, the Phantom has a “Follow Me” mode and Collision Avoidance.

Which the GoPro Karma Drone does not. Also there are many flight modes which give the user more options; however, they could render a novice user bamboozled.
